Postcard depicting men using a rope to pull a turtle onto a dock. The description on the verso reads, 'The Turtle Crawls at the north end of Margaret Street.

When they are to be taken out of the crawls to be butchered a rope is fastened to their flippers and they are pulled up a wide plank and into the cannery. Don't miss seeing them while in Key West.'
